SJMSOM	B.Tech/B.S. and Dual Degree (B.Tech+M.Tech) students.1 Students with CPI of 7.0 at the end of their sixth semester and with no backlog in their UG courses can apply for the programme. 2 The CPI criteria would be a benchmark and interviews will be conducted as per specialization applied for. 3 The fees applicable to IDDDP students will be the same as that applied for the students in 2 nd year MBA programme. 4 On completion of programme, the students would get B.Tech Degree in parent department and MBA degree in given specialization. 5 The students would not be eligible for Minor in Management (SJMSOM)	
Environmental Science and Engineering Department	A maximum of two students would be permitted to leave the Department for joining IDDDP programmes.	
SystemsEngineeringand Control	1 The candidate must satisfy the minimum eligibility criteria stipulated by the Academic section. 2 A SysCon core faculty member must agree to guide the candidate. 3 In any year, a core faculty member can agree to guide (i.e. recommend) at most one candidate applying for the SysCon IDDDP. 4 The candidate must have completed any two courses from our list of minor courses within the first six semesters of the B.Tech program and have an average score of at least 7.5 in these two courses. This requirement can be waived if the student has credited some equivalent courses in other departments which in their entirety cover the topics covered in any two SysCon minor courses. The average grade requirement for the equivalent courses is 7.5. The decision about granting the waiver will be taken by the IDPC.In case more than two candidates satisfying all the above requirements apply for the SysCon IDDDP, then the two candidates with the highest CPIs will be recommended for admission.	
CMinds	Any IITB BTechs with CPI > 8.0 can opt for the program in their sixth and seventh semester with the approval of the DUGC of the BTech department and DPGC of the M.Tech. department.Dual degree students can be admitted via usual rules of a branch change. He/she must have completed at least two AI and Data Science minor courses (including the soft core or equivalent courses. A DDP guide who is a faculty member associated with the Centre for MI&DS must be identified, and give his/her approval as part of the application process. The final decision will be based on CPI, consent from an associated faculty who agrees to serve as advisor, statement-of-purpose, and/or interviews. The center will make the admission decisions before the start of placements in the seventh semester. A student who chooses to convert to IDDDP in AI and Data Science and thus receives a Masters in AI and Data Science, will not be eligible for a minor in AI and Data Science.Number admitted: In its first year of operation we propose to admit eight* students in the institute TA category and 22 additional students in the RA category. Students in the TA category will support the minor courses offered by the Centre. The students in the RA category will be funded by projects of the faculty with whom the student engages in the year- long project.Curriculum Structure The master’s degree requires:	














	●Completion of at least two AI and Data Science minor courses (including the soft-core or equivalent courses) by 6th semester. For the first year of admission this requirement will be waived.●Completion of 4 PG level courses. Two courses are to be completed in the 4th year, and the remaining two courses in the 5th year; these courses must be from a list of courses approved as electives for Minor/IDDDP in AI and ML by the CMInDS. The elective list includes a wide variety of relevant courses already offered by different departments. These are organized into three baskets: Mathematics, AI and ML, and Applications. The current list of such courses appears in the appendix.●Completion of two stages of the Dual Degree Project as per the standard IDDDP structureThe degree offered by the center would be WITHOUT HONORS since we require only four PG-level courses. This is as per Rule 3(c) of institute guidelines on IDDDProgram. However, as per rule 3(d) and 3(e), the MInDS center may prescribe additional pre-requisite courses over and above those discussed above if an incoming student is deemed to require them. These will be determined by the DPGC and informed to the student in advance

Prior consent from the concerned faculty member is essential for the IDDD application.The final decision will be based on CPI, consent from an associated faculty who agrees to serve as the DDP supervisor, statement-of-purpose, and/or interviews. The center will make the admission decisions before the start of placements in the seventh semester.A student, selected for IDDD in CDH for a masters in "Healthcare Informatics", will not be eligible for a minor degree in Healthcare Informatics.Under-graduate students pursuing a B.Tech. / B.S. / DD (B.Tech. / B.S. + M.Tech. / M.S.) degree at IIT Bombay can purse additional one year of PG-level courses and a year-long project in the area of Healthcare Informatics to earn a masters' degree in "Healthcare Informatics" along with their B.Tech. / B.S. degree in dual degree mode.Number of students to be admitted : For the AY 2021-22, it is proposed to admit 8 students in the institute TA category and 22 students in the RA category.
